Yuko sat, holding her arms out to a paramedic as he bandaged her arms, Night standing over them, watching the two. The medic stepped back, once finished, "we'll head over to the hospital soon, you'll be able to get fairer treatment then." The girl nodded, mumbling a small thanks as he walked off to go help others.
Sighing, she examined the situation around her. The police force were cuffing the members of the Hassaikai, heroes who weren't badly injured helping them. Medics scattered between groups, helping anyone with injuries, while also loading the one with more severe casualties into ambulances, where they'll be taken to the nearest hospital for treatment.
The excitement had calmed after Izuku had beaten Chisaki, -with the help of Eri's Quirk, which she had lost control of, which lead to Aizawa having to erase it.
Yuko quickly stood as Fatgum came into view, following after a stretcher, which she noticed had Eijiro laying on it. This caused her to quickly rush over in worry, reaching there just as Ochaco and Tsu approached as well.
The dragon rider looked down at the red head, who's upper body was covered in bandages. She looked down at him with worry, as he slowly peeled his eyes open, when he noticed them, he gave a small smile, Yuko returning it.
Their fight had ended, they won. She just wished it ended different than it did. Much more happier.

Yuko now sat in a cot, wearing a hospital gown, with her arms bandaged, and her right arm in a sling, which she was given for her shoulder.
Fortunately, she hadn't sustained any type of life threatening injuries. The only thing close to a major injury, was her right shoulder. Ando, when stabbing her, had punctured the bone, creating quite the facture. Recovery was able to heal her for the most part, however she was informed it was going to be still increasingly sore, and was still healing. So she couldn't perform activities that'll put pressure on her shoulder.
Yuko hadn't even realized her shoulder was broken when she was fighting, the adrenaline doing work to help her block out any type of pain. Recovery Girl was surprised to hear that when Yuko told her, as a broken bone was something someone would notice. However, Yuko was so focused on saving Eri, that she didn't even pay attention to her injuries.
However, other than her shoulder, she was fine. Her arms weren't anything severe, however, she was told there would be scarring.
She sighed, staring out the window of her room. She was the only one in a room, which was made for two people, which she was kind of thankful for, but at the same time, she really wanted someone around her.
Unfortunately, Night couldn't be there with her, due to his large size, and his head was too large to fit through the room window, so she was alone.
The girl's eyes made their way to her phone, which sat a few feet away, on a desk table. She debated, before forcing herself to move, swinging her legs off the bed. She grabbed the phone from the table, -using her left arm-. She scrolled through her contacts, before her finger hovered.
Her eyebrows furrowed, hesitantly clicking the contact belonging to her father's hospital room. It rang as she brought it to her ear, moving to sit on the edge of the hospital cot.
"Hello", was heard from the other line, the girl letting slip a small smile as her father's voice could be heard.
"Hi, pa." She greeted.
{·}{}{·}
Yuko rubbed at her shoulder, sighing as she was able to relieve some of the pressure.
The girl had fortunately been released from the hospital, however, her freedom was short lived when she was swept away to do paperwork, leading to her returning to U.A late at night. Though she wasn't alone.
Yuko walked beside Eijiro and Izuku, the three quiet as they began to walk up the path to the 1-A dorms, after being dropped off.
"Kirishima, Deku, Yuko!" They heard, causing them to come to a stop, looking back. Ochaco and Tsu approached them, waving in greeting.
As the two came to a stop in front of them, Izuku asked, "did you two just get back, too?"
"Yeah."
"There was a lot of paperwork to do at Ryukyu's office." Tsu informed.
Yuko sighed, crossing her left arm over her abdomen, hugging herself lightly, "yeah..." She nodded.
"We had a bunch, too." Eijiro finished for the girl.
As their conversation trailed off, they simultaneously turned to face the 1-A dorms, "it feels..." Ochaco trailed, "like we haven't been here in a long time."
Yuko pursed her lips, sighing as she began to walk forward, "well," she looked back at them with a small smile, "let's go." The four agreed, following after the female.
As the girl pushed the large door open, leading to the commons of 1-A, she was left to blink in surprise as the five were rushed by their classmates, the students of 1-A rambling on in worry, talking over each other.
Denki soon pushed his way to the front, his eyebrows furrowed, "with Kamino and this time, you guys keep getting involved with some crazy stuff! It's scary, you know!"
Yuko and Izuku smiled awkwardly at the yellow-blond, the greenette giving a even more awkward chuckle, "s-sorry..."
Yuko blinked as Mina brought her into a sudden hug, one of her arms wrapping around her neck, "you guys had me so worried!" The pink female whined.
"Ah-ha..." Yuko chuckled dryly, rubbing at her neck as her friend pulled away, "sorry..."
"Everyone!" Tenya shouted, rushing in between the five and the rest of the class, "I know that you were worried, but calm down! You saw on the news, didn't you? A lot has happened to them. If you're their classmates, you should console them and let them rest quietly. Because I'm sure it's not just their bodies, -their spirits must be also worn down."
At his words, Yuko glanced down at the floor. He was right, they were all exhausted, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. They had just returned from a fight, that risked their lives in so many ways, -they even lost someone to that fight. But, as thankful as she was, maybe this is what they need. Their classmates, their friends, to distract them, -remind them, that it was over, their fight has ended. Remind them, that they won. Maybe they need to be surrounded by the ones that care about them, worry about them.
And she knew, she wasn't the only one that thought this way.
"Iida," Izuku called, "Iida."
The freckled male smiled as his blue haired friend faced him, "thanks. But..." he trailed, "..it's fine."
The class rep straightened, fixing his glasses in the process, "then, if I may," Tenya unexpectedly grabbed at Izuku's shoulder, beginning to shake him back and forth. "I was extremely worried about you guys! Jeez, you guys!"
As the 'okay' was given, their classmates began to run off, giving their help to the tired group.
"I'll make some lavender herb tea." Momo spoke, running off towards the kitchen as Sato approached them with chocolate cake. "It'll help ease their spirits."
Yuko sighed, backing away as Sato stuffed cake into Izuku's face. She let out a yelp as an arm was thrown over her's and Eijiro's shoulders, -who was standing beside her-, the arm belonging to Hanta. "Why didn't you tell us about what was going on? We were super surprised, too!"
"Sorry, there was a gag order." The red head apologized.
While they were talking, Yuko began to lamely slap at Hanta's arm, Mina approaching them. Ignoring the conversation, the crimson eyed dragon rider whined at her black haired friend, "you idiot! Don't do that! I'm really tired, so I'm super jumpy!"
As Hanta went to retort, he was suddenly pushed back, as the girl who was recently just whining at him, let out a childish squeal, rushing over to her pink skinned friend. Her eyes having caught the white furred creature held in Mina's arms.
"Awe! Baby!" Yuko squealed as she held her arms out to Mina as Ochaco and Tsu approached.
"I borrowed it from Koda!" Mina informed, placing the small bunny into Yuko's arms, who began to cuddle it close to her, she ignoring everyone else in the procces.
As the night progressed, slowly, one-by-one, everyone began to call it night, this including the work study students. However, unlike their classmates, sleep didn't come easy, the five left alone to their own thoughts.
Yuko now sat in her room, her back against the wall, in between her dresser and desk. She stared at the collage of photos above her bed, twisting a knife in between her index and middle finger. -The photos ranged from those with her father to her best friend, Night, to more recent ones with her classmates, and even a few teachers and other students of other classes.
She felt a sudden mental pull, causing her to look up, finding Night staring at her through her balcony doors. A small smile made it's way to her face, happy to finally see her best friend. She stood, placing the knife on her desk, making her way to the doors and pushing them open.
Night allowed her to walk onto the balcony, before the dragon let out a worried huff. She brought her arms around his head, hugging him, and resting her head on his snout.
She sighed, closing her eyes, "I'm okay now bud. Don't worry...
We're okay now..."
